Former Pfizer physician challenges RIF, OWBPA disclosures in court

The most consequential allegation centers on the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, which sets conditions for waiving age-discrimination claims in group layoffs. Nieto says she signed a Separation Agreement on February 12, 2024 after being told the required disclosures—including a Schedule A listing the decisional unit, job titles, and ages of those selected and not selected—were complete and accurate. Five days later, on February 17, 2024, she received a revised Schedule A that, she alleges, added or corrected information about individuals in the decisional unit, including ages and titles. She contends the company did not restart the required consideration and revocation periods after issuing the corrected disclosure.
